It Begins, Clearing the Lot- July 23, 2007


While we closed on the construction loan on July 3rd, it took some time to actually break ground.

We first had the final elevation surveyed, and had to make some further adjustments to the elevation of the house.

House Building Trivia -
Q: Once the money is in hand, what is the first thing you must do to begin construction?

A: Buy a water meter (at least in Maumelle.)

Once we had purchased our water meter, we took our proof of purchase to city hall to purchase our building permit, and finally broke ground on July 23rd.

The entire process of cutting the trees and preparing the ground to dig the footings took just a little of 24 hours. We were amazed. Hats off to Mark Pruss, Inc. for a great Job, in heat that was over 100 degrees.
